Fungal Species: Sang Huang (Sanghuangporus, formerly Phellinus igniarius)

Synergistic target network construction and dynamic simulation analysis based on a prospective systems pharmacology strategy

Researchers used computer-based methods to study how Sang Huang, a traditional medicinal fungus, might help treat type 2 diabetes. They identified 17 active compounds in the fungus and found that a key component called estradiol dipropionate could improve insulin sensitivity and glucose control by activating specific protein pathways. The study suggests Sang Huang could be a promising natural treatment for diabetes, though more laboratory and animal testing is needed.
